🚨MATT TAIBBI: LEGACY MEDIA IS DEAD IN THE US🇺🇸
'When Donald Trump got elected, there was this incredible moment where he thanked a long list of podcasts that had been instrumental in spreading his campaign, and that was a really amazing moment because it spoke to the almost total impotence of the traditional media in this country. They were really not a factor.'
'If Trump tries to crack down in any way on CBS, or try and get their license yanked...I think he'd be making a mistake because legacy media in America is basically dead. After the election, they were unable to process that so much of the country was voting against them.'
'ABC's Jimmy Kimmel rolled his eyes about someone who voted for Trump because Kamala Harris wouldn't do an interview with Joe Rogan. His audience is roughly 25x bigger than the largest cable audience in America.'
